in there are one, some or many APN's (acess point names)

Its a full page to explain everything, just find out what your settings are, and have a play, and a damned good read on here. after you make a change, press start and choose save, else it wont change till you soft reset. sometimes it seems not to change anyway till you reset.

if you are testing mms and a pic gets stuck on 'sending', , they generally never go, even when you finally get the settings right, so ditch it and send another.

I am looking for the name of the battery stats file and where it is located, on my installed rom Trigger. I updated this rom but my battery life is poor. On a older version it was great. Yes I wiped the battery stats after conditioning my battery. Many ppl have good life with the update so something is different with my setting or something. What I want to do is pull that file from my back up and put it on the new version. Back in the day of my Behold 2 I and many ppl put the batterystats.bin from BH-MAN aka "eugene373" phone to ours and my battery life increased 50 percent.

[HD7 General] Damionix:
Are you serious? Why would you come to a Windows Phone 7 forum to request Android be ported to this device? What sense does that make when there are variants of 4.3" phones from HTC running android with pretty much the same specs. This is baffling. I hardly write much in these forums but this is just sick.
[HD7 General] garrette:
I'll tell you why. Because T-Mobile use had no other 4.3 phone in there choices. The only reason i got the HD7 was because someone stole my nicely rooted HD2 RUNNING ANDROID. Had the HD7 for almost 2 weeks and guess what its heading back to Tmobile along with a cancellation.
[HD7 General] mussio:

[HD7 General] Nano3:
First of all, there is no need for any hostility in my thread, I'm not a moderator or anything but i will not tolorate fanboys here. I've been a die hard fan of windows mobile ever since Tmobiles Dash came out.

[HD7 General] Nano3:
Thanks for supporting and visioning android development for the HD7 with me! Again... It was me who was willing to donate for the cause, In no way am i trying to collect funds for any development. It is MY choice to offer a donation and if you are choosing to go about the same way, then more power to us!

Have we gotten the attention of any developers yet? :p
[HD7 General] mussio:
maybe a post in the HD2 forums will help kick start development.

dont forget to stress the cash incentive.

i'm sure many will donate for the cause.

Edit: What is the prize? You mention "winner" and "contest" - So i'm assuming there is a prize?
[Android Software Development] dEris:
Let me know if I'm on the right track. I like the minimal look of it =D
[Android Software Development] Tesla74:
There will be a $20 (USD) cash prize.. I've updated the original post.

$20 for a logo? no thanks.

Please don't clutter the thread with complaints.. If you don't like the prize, just don't enter. If there are any more questions or concerns, please send a PM or email us so the posts in this thread are of entries and not cluttered with questions. Thanks.
[Android Software Development] freekyfrogy:
is this for the app icon, or for a logo?
[Android Software Development] dEris:
Won't the app logo be used for the app icon? It's the same thing. Lol =)

[Android Software Development] ghost010:
Well here is my try.

had good response of fellow Designers here on college.
[Android Software Development] timmy16744:
thought i would give it a quick shot.

went with the 8bit theme :)

if you're interested in this let me know and i an change it up for you (remove certain parts).

let me know if i'm on the right track or not and ill have another go if i have time.
[Android Software Development] freekyfrogy:
Not necessarily, but if they are the same thing in this case then that's cool.
[Android Software Development] Tesla74:
It is for the app icon/logo but it will also be used on the website and other places.
[Android Software Development] Tesla74:
Some more possible themes.. radar echos from the radar app, radar domes, radar rings, lightning, hail, tornadoes (or hook echos), pickles, L3, .. please no sweep lines..

Nice work so far!
[Android Software Development] fyrfyter:
Went a little more wild for mine. A nice Hook echo I got watching the radar from the Evansville, IN area a year or two ago. A little pickle to go along with it, and some text. Looks great with black or white background! That was fun! Thanks! Look forward to being able to use my AllisonHouse subscription with your program.
[Android Software Development] Tesla74:
Nice work, but can you make another without the placefiles, roads, and city names.. just the radar. The idea is good though!
[Android Software Development] fyrfyter:
That depends upon how fast severe weather season takes off, and if I can grab another hook before March 15th. Unfortunately, that is the way I pretty much leave my home Radar Software set all the time, so I would have to be watching it, and catch something to disable all that stuff and get a screen shot.
[Android Software Development] D3luSi0n4L:
heres a quick little entry! Hope you enjoy it! I can change anything you want, please give me feedback and if you don't like it at all, tell me and I'll get something else going! Also if you have a website or something I also do web graphics, and etc!

Hey I can probably photoshop it for you if you need, id obviously split profits with original creator if that was the chosen one!

[Android Software Development] Tesla74:
We like, but some possibilities are incorporating a pickle in the cloud or a 3 or P3 or things like that.
[Android Software Development] Tesla74:
The only reason I make this request is because Pykl3 renders these slightly different than GR3. So the icon/logo won't match the app. The radar echos on the other hand looks the same if not smoothed.

Maybe you can load archived data or come up with another idea.

We do like your work!

Thanks.
[Android Software Development] fyrfyter:
I didn't render it from GR3. I rendered it from StormLab, possibly as either L2 or L3 data. StormLab does not have smoothing, therefore being identical to PYKL3. I'll see if I can find some hook echos in archive, and tweak it a bit.
[Android Software Development] fyrfyter:
Appreciate the offer. I'll see what is available in the archives first. Don't really care about splitting the money, just like to try my hand at it.
[Android Software Development] fyrfyter:
Apparently, today must be a good day. Found the same night as the radar Image I used in NWS archive. Not nearly as good looking as mine, but does show more storm, less hook. Was able to remove all overlays. Also, adjusted Pickle size and location, and text. When I resized the original, it was difficult to read the text. Now its easier. Hope you like it!
[Android Software Development] dEris:
That is more of a graphic. Not a logo.

[ Sent from an LG Optimus V ]
[Android Software Development] fyrfyter:
Nice try, but wrong.

A graphic would only be one part of the image, say for instance the pickle, or the radar reflectivity, and would likely have no wording on it, unless an actual part of the image.

A Logo, is something made up of graphics, usually has some addition of text or words, designed to specifically reference an item for easy recognizing of that item.

This is a Logo, not a graphic.
[Android Software Development] Tesla74:
Nice work.. I forgot about SL. As you can tell by the title of the thread.. IMO a logo is a type of graphic.. one in the same.
[Android Software Development] fyrfyter:
I understand, what you mean, but by definition, they are not the same, and here is why. Logos are designed and meant for you to remember them as a direct reference to a particular item, company, or product. If I had just an image of radar reflectivity, nothing about that would indicate a specific product, just a radar image. When I start to add other components, is when I come up with a Logo, something that references a specific product, and designed so you will remember it.

The same holds true with lots of things. The McDonalds Arches, with the red banner. Around the world, even if you cannot read the text, you know that means McDonalds. The Coca Cola Can in Red, with its Spiral Stripe. Even if you can't read the text, beacuse you are too far away, you know that it is a Coke Can. These items don't come this way, by chance. They are designed this way, so you will remember them. If it was just a red can, or Just a sign with the words McDonalds on it, there is no way anybody would be interested in remembering it.

Logos are designed to draw your eye, and look cool, so that you will remember them, just as in the Logos mentioned above. Logos involve graphic design, and a mixture of items, ideas, and text. And there are tons of Logos out there. Every store, Every restaurant, every everything has a Logo to it. Some are simpler, some are more complex, but everything has a logo.
[Android Software Development] Tesla74:
One week left. I hope we can get another five or so entries. Nice work so far and hope to see more.
[Android Software Development] dEris:
Research "what is a logo" then look at yours. Yours is a graphic with a pickle. Lol I dunno. Google "logos" and look at examples too. Then come back with your comment. Not trying to be rude, just giving ya pointers bro. You can't really call a pixelated image of a storm from a news cast and a pickle word art with some text all stacked on top eachother a logo. Sorry, but your design is not a logo. I went to school for graphic design, please take my advise as constructive criticism. Thanks.

[ Sent from an LG Optimus V ]
[Android Software Development] Tesla74:
Please, no more discussion on what is a logo, icon, or graphic on the thread.
[Android Software Development] dEris:
Ill be submitting a new concept design soon. =]
[Android Software Development] fyrfyter:
Could be, but apparently, you know nothing about software and the weather. That "pixelated" image is radar reflectivity, in its raw form. All that crap on TV that looks all smoothed out is just "eye candy" for the general public. It does nothing to enhance the quality of the data. Zoom into PYKL3 Radar, and tell me what you see. I see a bunch of squares on a map. Its not pixelated, its just how radar displays. I have enough programs to prove it. This is what the radar really looks like, when its displayed on the screen. The other thing is, I didn't get the radar image from a newscast as you put it. That was pulled from an NWS archive, and then opened with a radar viewer. It is the actual radar reflectivity image for the night I chose, with all the overlays removed. I'd consider it criticism, if you actually knew what you were looking at, instead of making assumptions.
[Android Software Development] Number22:
Here's mine.

I went for a somewhat simple yet modern look with an accent on the application purpose (background of a radar and a figure of a cloud) and on it's name/brand (Pyckl3).

Tell me what you think.
